Manhattan Center
Studios is a film, television and music company located a short
block away from Madison Square Garden in New York.

Built
in 1906, the Manhattan Center was known as the Hammerstein Opera
House.

When first built
in 1906, the Manhattan Center was known as the Hammerstein Opera
House. Since 1986, the building has become a state of the art production
facility housing 2 television studios, 2 recording studios, video
post production suites, and 2 concert venues - the Hammerstein Ballroom
and the Grand Ballroom.

Many popular
recording artists have taken advantage of both the Hammerstein Ballroom's
and the Grand Ballroom's connectivity to both the recording studios
and the television studios, making these two venues the perfect
place to broadcast, video tape and record concerts.

The Grand Ballroom
is renowned for its natural acoustics. Its connectivity to Studio
7 allows it to serve as a large sound stage for film scores as well.
Equipped with a Neve VR96, the console has a custom modified monitor
section. The components have been assembled and wired together in
a customized way that enable stereo and surround to co-exist seamlessly
inside the console. "Because all the amp stages and other circuitry
are actual Neve components, it sounds like a Neve," says OBie
O'Brien, Studio Manager

Elliot Goldenthal,
Carter Burwell, Terrence Blanchard and Howard Shore are just a few
of the many composers who have entrusted their music to Manhattan
Center's amazing Grand Ballroom and Studio 7.

Studio 4, otherwise
known as the 'Log Cabin' is also equipped with a Neve console, the
VR 72 and like Studio 7, is equipped with Pro Tools HD. Studio 4
has been home to many artists/producers over the years including
Timbaland, Jay Z, Bjork, Katie Melua and Missy Elltiott, just to
name a few.

More and more
artists are taking advantage of the marketing advantages Manhattan
Center offers. More recently, the Counting Crows did their album
release here with a live webcast and added broadcast into movie
theaters around the country. "Because of what we have in the
house, [we] can create a whole variety of products" says Peter
Ross, President/General Counsel of Manhattan Center. "Whether
it is a live album, a television show or whether it is recorded
live for webcasting, later broadcast or a DVD. Manhattan Center
does it all," Ross says.

L.A.-based recording artists Ultraviolet
recently mixed their newest EP "Fast, Cheap and Out of Control"
here in New York City. Mixing duties were performed by Bonzai Caruso
